I'm disappointd there isn't a company doing something about that, actually. Herc and the Insecticons all could use new heads.

every time I look at the TFC Insecticons I can barely make out their heads.



(from the rest of the invisible imaginary products, yes?)

Of course I was talking about the FP Insecticons Thought that was implied since there isn't any TFC Insecticons.

Meh, it was obvious.

Its not that I think TFC has bad faces, I think they purposely alter things up a bit.

And that's what makes it bad. At least when you're paying about $100 a pop for something. Maybe "undesirable" is a better word if you wanna get picky (eyes craggy) but if you're paying that much for something you really want it to be the best representation it can be. And a big part of that look is the head. TFC tends to stray too far. FP walks a fine line (and stepped over it int he case of the Insecticons).

Even Swoop?

Most of the faces on these are merely okay. The Dinos did have generic faces, but that doesn't mean a total departure is warrented. The only face on these guys that REALLY gets me is Swoop. It's just ... really, really not Swoop at all. I can't even say it's more toyetic. It's probably one of their worst faces because Swoop's pretty high profile.

Still, to be more positive, the colors on them help a great deal to make these worth buying. I don't know what they were thinking when they came up with their old color schemes. A bit too much "NOT" in their not Dinobot set if you ask me. So the change in colors is very welcome.

It's a bit off topic, but, while I can like the Insecticons for what they are, I'd snap up a G1 accessories add on kit in a heartbeat. IMHO, FP went a bit too far with these guys.
